==Key Stage 3==
===Meaning===
[[Hearing]] is a [[sense]] that allows [[animal]]s detect [[sound]].
===About Hearing===
: [[Animal]]s '''hear''' with their [[ears]].
: [[Hearing]] can be damaged by listening to loud [[sound]]s too often.
: The [[ears]] of different [[animal]]s can '''hear''' different [[sound]]s. Some [[animal]]s can '''hear''' [[sound]]s too high [[pitch]]ed for us to '''hear''' and some can '''hear''' [[sound]]s too low [[pitch]]ed for us to '''hear'''.
There are several parts of the ear you should know:
*[[Pinna]] - The shaped [[cartilage]] collects the sound.
*[[Ear Cannal]] - The tube leading to the [[Ear Drum|ear drum]].
*[[Ear Drum]] - This [[vibrate]]s like a drum skin when sound hits it.
*[[Ossicles]] - Three tiny [[bone]]s that pass the [[Vibrate|vibration]] to the [[cochlea]].
*[[Cochlea]] - A spiral tube with a [[liquid]] inside it and tiny hairs attached to [[nerve]] cells.
*[[Eustachian Tube]] - A tube used to keep the [[pressure]] the same both sides of the [[Ear Drum|ear drum]] to stop it bursting.
*[[Auditory Nerve]] - The [[nerve]] connecting the ear to the [[brain]].

: [[Sound]] travels into the [[Ear Canal|ear canal]] where it causes the [[Ear Drum|ear drum]] to [[vibration|vibrate]]. The [[Ear Drum|ear drum]]s is connected to the [[ossicles]] which pass the [[vibration]] onto the [[cochlea]]. Tiny hairs in the [[cochlea]] are connected to [[nerve]]s that make an electrical signal which goes to the [[brain]].
